I’m curious if KK can stick with the run game with ward and eno ? I mean I seen valuable continuity and consistency throughout the team with chase getting carries early against the cowboys, not like they will earn play action or rpo like leading with Conner, but it’s a proven recipe.
I really want to see what Conner can do with momentum, I think he is old school and gets stronger with more carries, at least 4-5 a quarter, can demoralize a defense, have seen it a lot this year, but not the complete chess game between a running back and a defense, it use to be more common, set up , set up, set up - brake the pattern and smush em where it hurts. Yes we run in streaks until they stop it, but then pass pass pass pass, feast or famine, 3rd and short is damned nice.
I hope we need it in green bay sometime this month. Like they did to us Short handed. They can beat us one dimensionally, keep our defense on the field, actually set the template on how to beat the cards for others. We know what we know now, earn it. Same thing in 08 when edge got off the bench and stopped our wintery blow outs, earned our wins in the playoffs To the super bowl. Then 10 stupid rb carries in the Super Bowl, and a 99 yard to return at the end of the first 1/2! don’t be stupid, earn it.

Hopefully Marco, Moore & Phillips will all be back for wildcard weekend.

I wonder if Breeland could see some playing time against Seattle?

Because it sounds like we ARE resting players for the playoffs. I mean, if the playoffs were this weekend, do you think some of them would lay? I do.
That tweet indicates the exact opposite, unless I missed something?

He SAYS they're not being rested this week, but my guess is they would play if it were the playoffs. It's just my opinion, but I think my stance is pretty clear.

I mean, I guess so. Although KK has been aggressive with this team, sometimes to a fault. I don't see him being passive, especially after the 3 game losing streak, and after stating is opinion publically.

Can you recall an instance of smokescreen from KK?

I hope that Breeland never sees the field. Dude was AWFUL for the Vikings this year.

smokescreened for three weeks with K1. "Do you want to tell him he is sitting?" was a quote he made the first or 2nd week he was out.

KK is very shady with his injury details.

Fair. It is an instance and that is what I asked for.

I don't think he is lying about this one though.

I don't see it as lying, per se, rather smoke screening a bit. Saying out of one side of his mouth, "We aren't resting anyone" while at the same time resting guys I think would play if it were a playoff game.
